Sources & method

Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.

The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.

For Hochkönig, the 830, 1,300 and 1,800 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at the forecast point Sonnbergbahn valley station, not observations or separate weather stations.

How we calculate this

Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

How this comparison works+

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.

This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Before your ski day

When does the Hochkönig season start?

The operator’s season table, checked on 8 November 2026, plans the first lifts in Dienten and Maria Alm for 28 and 29 November 2026, the entire ski area from 5 December 2026 to 29 March 2027, and then only Aberg in Maria Alm until 4 April 2027. Dates are subject to snow and weather. The official lift and piste status shows what is open on a given day.[7][4]

Does this page cover neighbouring ski areas?

No. It covers the Hochkönig ski area only. Neighbouring ski areas are separate and are not part of this forecast or its lift, piste and snow reports.[1][8]

Where do the lift status and snow depth on this page come from?

Lift and piste status and the snow report come from the operator’s live page, which lists each sector with its own update time. Its snow heights state no elevation. The LWD Salzburg station Aberg, at 1,811 m, adds a measured ground snow depth.[4][5][6]

Are the forecasts for 830, 1,300 and 1,800 m at Hochkönig observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to 830, 1,300 and 1,800 m and calculated at one representative point, the Sonnbergbahn valley station.[2]
